THE SCREECH OWL 21 Walter Edward Soroka 18 Railroad Street “Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it.” Tall, grave, yet with many a thoughtful smile, “Jut” is an ardent member of the Railroad Street Bachelor’s Club. He claims his darkest moment was trying to dance at the Junior Prom. Is that the reason you joined the Bachelor’s Club, “Jut”? If so, we all had to learn once, and there wasn’t any Bachelor’s Club then. William John Stades 16 Glendale Street “Unblemished let me live and grant me honest fame.” Assistant Football Manager (3), Football Manager (4), Orchestra (1, 2, 3), Inter-class Basketball (1, 2, 3), Junior Dance Decorative Committee (3), Banquet and Night Class Committee (4). “Doc’s” favorite pastime is playing billiards. His hobby is collecting old money, and as his ambition is to be an orchestra leader, here’s hoping he’ll collect new money for a change. Doc has a sense of humor. He says his darkest moments in high school was developing pictures in the lab. Let’s hope all his future mo- ments will be bright. Antonio Salvatore Terrasi 12 Arthur Street Tel. No. 79-M “A youth both shy and diligent.” “How many miles to Walt ham ?” Reception Committee (4). Quiet, dark, and often blushing is Antonio. Since “Toe’s” hobby is photography, he spends much of his spare time at Samuel’s Studio puzzling over hypos and developing solution. What we’d really like to know, Toe, is what does Waltham have that Maynard doesn’t?. Those week-end dances are very interesting, you slip away to, we understand. We give up, Toe, who is she? Don’t keep us in the dark, as in room. Marion Terrasi 12 Main Street Tel. No. 415-M “I choose to study while I am young.” Marion is a pretty and retiring brunette. She has most ladylike manners and studious habits. She would like, we hear, to attend Regis College in the fall. Once there we know that she will prove herself a young woman of decided promise. James Morris Tobin 22 Lincoln Street Tel. No. 476- J “Who is this dark and polite gentleman ? “A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public.” Dance Committee (4). Dark, mysterious, and pleasant, “Tobe” is the class glamour boy. Although at first he was restricted to local talent he has now blossomed forth in weekly trips to neighboring towns in his now famous car, “Passion”. Being a feminine-heart palpitater is not his only accomplishment as evidenced by his decided artistic talent. By combining the two he “art” to be good.

20 THE SCREECH OWL Leo Rosko 10 Driscoll Avenue “ Conquest pursues zvhere courage leads ” Leo, dark, good-looking and brown-eyed, is one of the sportsmen of the Senior Class. His interests lie in hunting, fishing, and trapping. When the first day of the fishing season comes around, you very seldom find Leo in school. Leo’s fav- orite class has to do with physics. Leo says that in a few years we will probably see him in the army or navy. Maybe he can hunt in the army ana fish in the navy or accompany Mr. F. D. R. on one of his trips. Anthony Raymond Salamone 12 Main Street Tel. No. 415-M “Those move easiest who have learned to dance. Antonio is noble, a true Latin type. Genial and sympathetic, he has often offi- ciated as best man at weddings. “Jitterbug”, as his friends call him, is a snappy dancer in our class, and is constantly visiting Waltham. We wonder why. He says it’s to see his uncle, but we “aunt” sure. Tony wants to become a business man when he graduates and we know he’ll make a good one, too, if he doesn’t mix his hobby (playing the drums) up with his work. Someday he may beat his own record. Fred Sarvela R. F. D. 94 Puffer Road Tel. No. 134-W1 “He is strong who can knock a man down , but stronger who can lift himself Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Co-Captain (4), Track (2, 3, 4), Basketball (3, 4), Student Council (2, 3), Dance Committee A. A. (1, 2), All Dance Committees (3), Banquet and Class Night Committee (4). Freddie, big, bulky, and brawny but still graceful, has endeared himself to the feminine hearts by his exploits on gridiron and dance floor. His favorite pastime is hunting; so we are not “a Freddie” will get the bird if he keeps in their “pidgeon.” Wanda Josephine Shubelka 48 Parker Street “She seems both cheerful of all yesterdays And confident of every tomorrow Special Chorus (4), Screech Owl (4). Fluffy-haired, blue-eyed Wanda wears a sweater to match her eyes. Wanda is outwardly quiet, but she has pronounced opinions which at length she does make firmly known. When a certain typewriting chair did not give her the proper support, she did not exactly keep her grievances to herself. Wanda plays cards, collects dog pictures, and goes off on hikes. She is bound for suc- cess, we know, and we shall not “Wanda” when we hear that she has “wanda-ed” into a commercial executive position, even though we have a line that she would like to be a telephone operator. She will connect, anyway. Joseph Smaha 11 Harrison Street “Strongest zvander furthest Football (1, 2, 3, 4). “Joe” has been, up to his last year, one of M. H. S.’s most reliable gridiron stalwarts. Sad indeed were the football players when the news of Joe’s ineligi- bility was received last fall. Joe has been “milling” around locally but no one can “pull th.e wool over his eyes.”

22 THE SCREECH OWL Mary Trachim 11 High Street “ We grant that although she had much wit She was very shy of using it.” Special Senior Chorus (4). Blonde, shy, and fair, Mary is one of the quietest girls in her class. A charming personality, she likes to read in her spare time and is always on the alert for new postcards to collect. Her ambition is to be a hairdresser. If you sport a custo- mer, we’re sure you’ll be able to “Trachim” down, Mary, (or her, either, for that matter). Mary’s is a future with many a primp and curl. Jean Elizabeth Tucker 56 Summer Street Tel. No. 553- W “ Moderation and abstinence her best methods.” Screech Owl (3), Senior Special Chorus (4), English Club (4). Tall and very blonde, “Tucks” advises the freshmen in the words of the old adage, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” She practices what she preaches. Jean is a member of the “N. T. D. N.” which can be seen around town almost every afternoon. Jean likes to bowl, and she has just about the sweetest slow ball we’ve ever seen. Norman Clifton Tucker 87 Nason Street “We all love a pretty girl.” Golf Team (3), Picture Committee (4). Norman Tucker, tall, slender, and lackadaisical, makes himself a friend of all with his winning smile. He is heading toward a goal as a clerk in an A P store and maybe a managership, which his pleasant personality will help him at- tain. He is often seen at the local golf course driving a long ball down the fairway. If he keeps in the “fairway” of life as much as in the local course, he will not have to “rough” it. Wilbur Lincoln Walls 3 Oak Street “His business is great ; and in such a case a man may strain courtesy ” Student Council (1, 4), Picture Committee (4), Haunted Hotel (4), Graduation Speaker (4), Football (3, 4), Dance Committees (1, 2, 3, 4), Track (3, 4), Screech Owl (3, 4), A. A. Dances (4), English Club (4), Band (3). “Bill,” who is of medium build and wiry, is one of our most brilliant contribu- tions to society. To describe him one can sum it up in three alliterative words; great, genius, and gymnastic. His accomplishments in the designing and chemis- try fields are a proof of his capability, but when he steps out before the foot- lights, one wonders why he has chosen chemical engineering for his life work. His versatility has been shown by his many activities. “Owen” to his speed on the track, no one can “Toz” him on the gridiron. Helen Wanda Wasiuk 41 Glendale Street “Great force is hidden here behind a sweet command .” Reception Committee (4), Student Council (2), Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Screech Owl (4), Special Chorus (4), Cheer Leader (3, 4). Helen’s natural ability is sure to win her countless friends when she enters the world to .come. She plans to be a hairdresser, and we haven’t a doubt that many boys will be going to get their hair done. Say Charlie for instance. If he “Wasiuk,” he would surely go to you, for as a beautician you would be sure to have “manicures.”
